What is good for you, is not necessarily what is good for the collective.

There is no collective. Just a bunch of individuals.

I guess you are Anarchist or some variation of that. Arguing with you I am sure won't work.

Bitcoin is anarchistic.

I know.

I was Anarchist myself when younger even.

But later I realized that pure anarchy is a utopia, you need at least judges and enforcers of law, because some individual WILL conclude that whatever is best for him, must be done, when that thing is not good for everyone else.

I still have anarchist leaning, and I am against the massive states that we have today, central banking, fiat, heavy taxation, or states that do everything but the thing they were supposed to do...

But I still think, that leaders are needed, to make decisions that benefit a group, not individuals. I am strongly against individualism.
